Oatmeal Raisin Cookie (One-Bowl Easy) with Earl Grey Tea
This is a simple to make dry and healthy cookie or biscuit version of the beloved oatmeal raisin cookie, that is paired with a brisk Earl Grey tea ingredient and good for afternoon tea or a breakfast accompaniment.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup ground oats
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 Tbsp Greek yogurt
- 1/8 cup Earl Grey tea
- 2 Tbsp raisins (or 40 raisins)
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Spray your baking pan with baking spray or brush light olive oil. You can use your round cake pans.
- Make the one-bowl cookie batter: Combine ingredients with a silverware spoon but reserve the Earl Grey tea and raisins.
- Optional: brew your Earl Grey tea and add the raisins to the warm tea. This will help plump raisins up. You can do for some, all, or none. And then add the tea and about 3/4 of the raisins (30 raisins/1.5 Tbsp) to the cookie batter.
- Shape your cookie with your spoon and a knife or offset spatula is helpful. This makes one 6 inch cookie or a few smaller cookies.
- Add the remaining raisins on top so they're visible.
- Bake at 350°F/180°C for 25-30 minutes for soft-crispy cookie doneness preference. Enjoy!
Notes
Earl Grey tea and a few raisins pair well, as raisins enhance the tea flavors (bringing forward the sweet citrusy notes in the tea). Give it a try in the dry cookie and in drinking tea.
